  • Patent number: 10609726
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Wireless communications systems as described herein may be configured to support several service types with different latency, reliability, or throughput rates or standards. One such service type may be referred to as ultra-reliable, low-latency communications (URLLC). Enhancements to improve URLLC performance in coexistence with and as a complement to legacy service types, such as LTE are described. These include, for example, enhanced timing resource allocations, enhanced transmission repetition schemes, enhanced feedback mechanisms, or a combination of these features to achieve certain reliability and latency targets.

  • Patent number: 10595313
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described in which scheduling of time and frequency resources for multiple component carriers (CCs) may be provided in a low latency physical downlink control channel (sPDCCH) transmission to a user equipment (UE). The scheduling information may include a first portion that is transmitted during a first transmission time interval (TTI) and that includes scheduling information (UE-specific or common for multiple UEs) for two or more shortened TTIs (sTTIs) on one or more CCs, and a second portion that may be specific to the particular sTTI on one or more CCs. Rate matching information may be provided to indicate portions of the sPDCCH that may be reallocated for shared channel transmissions. The scheduling information may be, in some cases, provided in a single-level scheduling information transmission for two or more UEs, that provides UE-specific resources on one or more CCs.

  • Patent number: 10554559
    Abstract: A Multicast Adaptive Bitrate (MABR) Bandwidth Control Agent (BCA) configured to manage bandwidth of a plurality of MABR data streams in an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) over Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) system, wherein a bandwidth bottleneck exists on either an inbound, IP-network side of a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) or on an outbound, DOCSIS/RF-network side of the CMTS. The MABR BCA configures multiple virtual pipes on the inbound, IP-network side of the CMTS when the bottleneck is on the outbound, DOCSIS/RF-network side of the CMTS. One virtual pipe is configured for each service group to manage the bandwidth per service group for output RF ports on the CMTS. When the bottleneck is on the inbound, IP-network side of the CMTS, the MABR BCA configures one virtual pipe on the inbound, IP-network side to manage the bandwidth for input Ethernet ports on the CMTS.

  • Patent number: 10389561
    Abstract: A zero-IF transceiver includes a Rx having an IQ receiver path with a digital portion including a modem and a down-converter, and a Tx having an IQ transmit path with a digital portion including a modem for generating a complex and substantially balanced time-domain signal, an IQMM correction block, and an up-converter. An IQMM estimation block is coupled between time-domain parts of the Rx and the Tx modems. The IQMM estimation block is coupled to an input of the IQMM correction block. A loopback path couples the time-domain signal from the Tx to the Rx. The IQMM estimation block receives a first time-domain signal from the Rx modem and the time-domain signal before the IQMM correction block, and estimates in a digital time-domain an IMage Rejection Ratio (IMRR) of the Tx(?). The IQMM correction block is for correcting the IQMM to provide an IQ corrected OFDM signal using the ?.
